Police: Man injured downtown after shots fired from car sunroof

A man was shot in the foot early Monday morning after an argument with a man in a Mercedes downtown, Seattle police say.

The shooter reportedly fired eight to 10 shots at a group of people while standing through the sunroof of the parked car.

Officers were called to the 1500 block of Second Avenue just after 1 a.m. There they found a wounded man lying on the sidewalk.

Medics took him to Harborview Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

A security guard who witnessed the shooting said a group of people were walking by when they began arguing with people inside a parked car, described as a gray of silver Mercedes sedan.

The front seat passenger allegedly stood up through the car’s open sunroof and opened fire, striking one man in the foot, according to Seattle police reports. The Mercedes took off immediately after the shooting.

The victim and the group he was with were hostile to responding police officers and refused to discuss the incident.

This post was corrected to change the neighborhood in which the shooting occurred. Police reports said Belltown; it was actually downtown.
